Archiving will take place on Sunday to address the slowness

[imported_Chuck Weinstock]

We'll archive threads with no activity since 1/1/07. If, all of a sudden in response to this announcement a lot of threads become active again we may have to archive even more threads. I want to get the database down to about half it's current size or smaller and if it takes more then I'll do more.

When we eventually move to new software we will only take about 3 months of threads with us (as Mat said). We will not take PM's. We will not take favorite threads. However, the old forums will remain in read-only mode and your PM's and favorites will still exist.
